Can a kid particpate (sit on bench, go to all practices, etc.) if he/she is really not on the team at this time? FYI..The kid will be on the team next year.

They must be on the Roster, submitted as eligible to participate, if they enter a game. I presume the same thing for practice, to be covered under catastrophic insurance.

What happens if they aren't??? Is that a serious rule to break?

There would/could be varying consequences, ranging from Insurance to ineligible player.

 

Let's say "Tony", is not a member of the team and not listed on the KHSAA roster, nor participates in anyother school sanctioned sport but practices with the Varsity Basketball team. One day in practice, accident that requires medical attention....liability and cost, gets assigned to Coach, school and others.

 

I certainly hope no team has committed this, of which you mentioned and if so, let's not bring the name into the thread....:thumb:

The name of the thread makes me wonder.........

Kind of an oxymoron isn't it?

 

Non-playing player?

Well if I could state a name it would be much easier to explain!! BUT since I can't do that without getting the thread closed or myself put in "Mod Squad Jail"...that was the best way I knew how to state it when I started the thread.

 

If you don't like the name of the thread...change it!!

Nah... the name of the thread is brilliant... that's what hooked me to take a peek at the thread in the first place. I love irony I guess. :thumb:

 

I was just filling the shoes of "Captain Obvious" Where the heck's he been lately anyhow?

I expect the people that aren't on here to much to ask a question of why I name threads the way I do...:lol::lol::lol::lol:

But not one of the "Mod Squad"...they know me better than that! :D:D

 

 

So is there a rule that is being broken if a kid is "around the program" and not on the roster? Or is it not a big deal?

Since we don't have a clue about a specific kid ( and I strongly recommend we keep him or her anonymous ) and that kid's specific circumstances, I will answer in general terms. ( I claim no expertise in this area, and therefore acknowledge that this is merely an opinion based upon observation and hopefully a tad of common sense... oh, and I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express this week too. )

I've seen dozens of kids over the years allowed to integrate with various programs in a variety of capacities, from team manager, ball boy, water boy, trainer, etc. I've seen grade school and middle school kids allowed to hang out at high school team practices. I've seen kids not yet in high school allowed to actually participate on a high school team. I've seen good kids with mental or physical handicaps allowed to be a part of teams. I know of no specific rule that would forbid the "sensible" inclusion of almost any child into a particular team's environment. I do however see "insurance" and "liability" issues that could arise if a certain "underage" (lower grade level) child is permitted to "play up" without the appropriate documentation and grants of permission.

 

As long as all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed, it should be no big deal.
